Ball Of Confusion - Revisited

I love the old Temptations song Ball Of Confusion and I’ve been waiting for quite a while for someone to do an updated version. Well I’m tired of waiting and will now tackle the task, at least the lyrics part, myself. My thanks to leoslyrics.com for the original lyrics.

Ball Of Confusion - Revisited

1, 2… 1, 2, 3, 4, Ow!

People moving out, foreclosures rolling in. Why, because the bubble’s crashing in. Run, run, run but you sure can’t hide. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Vote for me and I’ll set you free.Rap on, brother, rap on.Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the…(preacher.) And it seems nobody’s interested in learning but the…(teacher.) Muslim nations, immigration, regulation demonstrations, Aggravating humiliation, prisons all around our nation.Ball of confusion. Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today. Woo, hey, hey.The sale of guns are at an all time high. People walking round with that look in their eye. The cities are strange in the summer time.And oh, the beat goes on.Evolution disillusion, oil controls the screamin’ polls. No mo’ rockets to the moon, kids still growing up too soon. Politicians say low taxes will solve everything.And the band plays on.So, round and around and around we go. Where the world’s headed, nobody knows.[Instrumental]Hey Google user, can’t you hear me talking to you.Just a ball of confusion. Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today. Woo, hey, hey.Fear in the air, tension everywhere. Unemployment rising fast, Obama sure got elected fast. And there’s no safe place to live, we’re now a well armed nation. And the band plays on.Eve of destruction, tax reductions, bridge inspectors set new records, New blood in demand, economics out of hand,Genocides, diamond kills, investors running for the hills.People all over the world are shouting, "End the wars." And the band plays on.[Instrumental] Hey Google user, can’t you hear me talking to you.Sayin’… ball of confusion. That’s what the world is today, hey, hey. Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.Sayin’… ball of confusion. That’s what the world is today, hey, hey. Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya,Let me hear ya, let me hear ya.Sayin’… ball of confusion.

I’m so proud, but it sure wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. So don’t forget my check when you decide to record it. I may be laughing now, but I’m still a Capitalist.

Is a semi-serious window onto the influences & experiences that have led to my personal philosophy of life. From growing up a poor, mixed-race kid in the 50s, 60s & 70s, to living as a depressed urban hermit in recovery, this is a collection of my pleas for reason & rationality in this global asylum.
